NO MORE POISONING IN DAHAB!
Quoted post
A Humanist Guest |
#12 dingdong2011-04-01 02:21Another emotional plea from animal lovers. Unfortunately there IS no government in Egypt capable of making micro policy about animals. The country has enough problems sorting out it's human population, let alone worry about dogs and cats. Whilst I agree the alleged poisonings are cruel, this country is really not in a position to give a S**T. Exactly who is this petition addressed to? Sir and Madam? Tourists and long term foreigners living in this place may be appalled by these poisonings and go "oh, how sad/cruel/backward/blah blah blah" but there are slightly more important issues that Egypt faces on a humanitarian level. For the 1st time it may have the chance to participate in real elections which may lead to civilian Egyptians having a part in shaping their future. Women's rights and things like human trafficking, female genital mutilation, christian/muslim harmony will definitely take priority over your little puppy/kitten!! I will NOT be signing this petition (addressed to who????) but will support humans in this country to have a chance at moving themselves upwards towards a better standard of living. As for the Gandhi quote, I think the greatness of nation and it's moral progress can be judged by how it treats it's women, civilians, underprivileged, handicapped, and all citizens. Pragmatically, puppies and kittens will have a better life in Western cultures for now :-) |

#13 Re: dingdong2011-04-01 03:12:17Dear "A Humanist", I find you post very bitter & sad. Why do you have such a big chip on your shoulder? Do you not have enough compassion in your heart for people AND animals? I know I do! I support charities that help people and animals. You don't have to choose one or the other you know? Why are you criticising people who are trying to make a difference? Even if you don't care about the animals, do you think it is nice for people (including children & the elderly) to see their animals die a slow, painful & unnecesary death? Regarding who this petition is addressed to, yes there is uncertantity in Egypt at present, but when a new government is finally in power then at least these people will have thousands of signatures on their petition? Maybe that is the reason it is not addresed to a particular individual at the moment? By the way, it is not just foreigners that are concerned about the poisoning, I know many Egyptian people who are also outraged at the poisoning of animals. They welcome the support of foreigners living in Egypt & across the world to help them in their campaign. There are many important issues facing the world, but your apathetic moaning attitude isn't helping anyone?

#17 Re: dingdong2011-04-01 12:41:45I hear what you are saying and yes puppies and kittens do have a better life in Western cultures but who's to say they can't in a country like Egypt. Just a thought..... How you treat animals is a reflection on how you treat people? Maybe now is the time for change just like the change in government? Thanks for your feed back :) |

#22 Re: dingdong2011-04-02 09:58:17Animal cruelty is related to cruelty against people, including violence against women & children. This is why more law enforcement agencies are starting to take it seriously. See "The Animal-Cruelty Syndrome", an excellent "NY Times" article that explains this very well. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/magazine/13dogfighting-t.html No one here suggests campaigning exclusively against animal abuse. ALL forms of abuse need to end. The article I mentioned notes that veterinarians can help fight child and spousal abuse by reporting when pets have been abused or other clues. |

i would like to ask you if u have enough courage to go one day with one of us in the streets. showing you the big different between the humans who get our help and animals. what u did already to human ? dont you listen to your religion what its say regarding animal rights ? if u r not interested in, why u reply here ? democratie means, everyone can say what he want, IF he have knowledge for speech. and we WILL reach our goal, as the world is watching egypt and will care each step we do. animals are born here. egyptian like you and me. so at least you have to RESPECT them and as well our charity work for white souls.
